"Ugh Dad you have officially ruined my life!" I moaned and leaned my head on the car window.

"Oh Lauren! You might actually enjoy this, anyway I don't have a choice and neither do you" he said sternly.

"I could of just stayed at Alex's she'd be happy to have me!"

Alex was my best friend and has been since we were little.

"Yes but not for 3 months!" Dad shouted he always wins.

"Ugh".

My dad was making me stay in La Push for whole summer which is the rainiest place on earth! Also living in sunny LA this was quite a change and a change I certainly didn't want to take, but of course dad being the King of ruin-Laurens –life-ville he would do anything to make my life miserable even if it meant driving me across the country to the tiny town of... well, Rain! At least he wasn't staying with me, I was staying with my Mom's best friend we weren't always close but since my mum past away about 6 years ago she's been putting in extra effort to make sure I was okay, and plus she wanted me to have a female figure in my life, since I live with my dad and 2 older brothers (ugh). My aunties live in England (I still don't actually know where that is yet, I've never been good at geography) My aunties live there cost that's were my mum came from originally she travelled to America to see her best friend (the one I'm staying at and btw her name is Emily) who moved there a while ago and that's were she met my dad and the rest is history! That's what my history teacher always says, which made me chuckle.

"We are almost there" said dad.

"Why couldn't I just stay with my brothers they are old enough!"

"No way they won't be able to look after you properly even if they are 18 and 19 and besides Anna has offered to look after you she says she thinks you'll like here"

"I thought she knew me well I guess I was wrong" I moaned.

"Don't be so rude! You don't know anything about this place yet!"

"Dad it's so small we've practically seen the whole bloody place already!" I moaned.

"Language!" Dad shouted.

"Sorry" I said quietly.

Dad then took a turning down a stony road that went down a forest..

Then came a little cottage type house at the end it looked really cute it made me smile.

"Well I think this is it I'll help you carry your bags in" he said whilst getting out the car.

I got out the car and carried my pillow and one of my many bags; dad was left struggling with the rest.

I didn't really notice him I was busy staring at the house and the long trees around it something about this place made it look magical, but I couldn't but my finger on it.

"Well don't just stand there Lauren" said dad I followed him to the door unable to take my eyes of the forest. Dad knocked on the door instantly Emily opened it with a welcoming smile on her face.

"Hi come on in! Oh let me help you with those" she said seeing my dad carrying loads of bags.

"Thank you" said dad handing her my lightest bag that was filled with all my beauty products – I could not live without those!

The house seemed warm and cosy and quit small oh no this means my bedroom will be small ugh great! I don't want to seem ungrateful but I need it big so I can fit all my stuff in it.

Emily took of my coat and hanged it on some pegs and put my shoes on the rack.

"Put them there from now on" she smiled she seemed really happy, well that makes one of us.

Dad and Emily helped me carry my bags up into my room, which isn't so small after all it isn't as big as my room back home but I could live with it. My bed was a double and had blue duvet cover and a little fluffy blue mat on the floor she also put in a really pretty white dressing table with a big mirror in it and a matching chair of course. The walls were painted a warm cream colour – which matched the super clean carpet- and there was a little lamp on the table beside my bed.

"Is this okay? I knew your favourite colour is blue so I went out and bought some stuff to make it look nice" she said sounding unconfident.

"It's lovely!" I said, I've cheered up a bit now.

"Wow you've put some effort into this Emily!" said Dad surprised.

"yeh I have I'm glad you like Lauren I'll best be leaving you alone so you can unpack come on Nick" she said the last part talking to dad who I smiled at to show I wasn't that grumpy anymore. He smiled back and turned and followed Emily. After about 5 minutes I began to hear their soft muffled voices underneath me I must be above the kitchen. Normally I found it quite annoying but today I found it soothing and I listened to them whilst unpacking although I couldn't make out what they were saying.

I unpacked all my clothes to start with, I put them in the blur draws under the window that showed a good view of the forest. I put it really neatly –only jeans or skirts in bottom draw and all my nice tops second from bottom the in my top draw all my underwear. I hung my dresses, jumpers and cardi's in the wardrobe. I tucked my PJ's in my bed. Then I moved on to unpacking my products on to the dressing table (Which I loved defo my fave part of the room) it was quite fun laying out all my sprays and make-up, that took up some time and to finish it all up I put my book on the table (the one beside my bed) with my mini travel clock and placed my pillow on the bed.

I stood by the door admiring what I'd done it looked like it be living here all my life, the window shown a dark gloomy cold outside but in her it was warm, light and cosy.

After I changed my clothes (it was quite sweaty after a long journey) I noticed a white door in my room which was weird I couldn't think how I missed that anyway I opened it and inside was a bathroom sweet I never had that at home! I rushed back and got my toothbrush and shampoos and places them in there. I totally love my room now, I might even like it more than my other one which is saying something!

I stepped out if my room and looked down the little hallway there were 3 doors I figured one was a bedroom one was a bathroom and the other either a spare room or a study.

"Lauren!" called dad.

"Coming!" I called and ran downstairs.

Dad and Emily were leaning on the worktop and there were 2 empty mugs next to them.

"I'm going now love" Dad said and gave me hug whilst he was hugging me he whispered in my ear

"Be good".

"bye Emily if there are any problems call me"

"I'm sure there won't be have fun on your.." she trailed of having no idea what word goes at the end of that sentence.

"Conference" dad said finishing the sentence.

"Oh, well bye"

Dad left, I went to the window and waved goodbye he waved back then got into his car and drove off.

"So, all unpacked then?" she asked.

I turned around from staring at the window.

"Yes I love the room by the way"

"Good Um I wasn't sure what you liked for dinner in the end I just made some pizza is that okay?"

"Yeh I love pizza!" I giggled.

"Oh cool it will be ready in 5 minutes"

"Okay do you mind if I look around?"
"No go ahead it is your house to for the next 3 months

I looked around the cottage type house. There was a round wooden table joining up the lounge and the kitchen, the lounge wasn't much just a sofa and a TV- a small TV. It didn't look like it gets used much but the sofas did they were all squished down like really tall heavy people sleep on it all day.

The stairs was placed between the lounge and the table, giving it some privacy but not much you could still see through the stairs a little.

I sat on the sofa and saw a book on the table beside it, as I am big bookworm i showed an interest in it. The book looked as if it had been red a zillion times the front cover was curled back. I picked it up.

It was a information book about the Quilete legends.

"What's this Emily?" I asked out of curiosity.

She rushed over behind me and saw it.

"Oh I'm into that kinda stuff, legends and things they seem fascinating to me, plus its something to read when it's raining."

"Oh"

"Yeh do you want chips or something with it?"

"Oh yes thank you chips please"

"Okay"

I Put the book down and walked upstairs.

My room was the first door you saw as you came up the stairs, than you'd have to turn left down the corridor. I peered in the first door you came to on the left it was another bedroom it was pretty empty apart from the large king-sized bed.

I looked in the next door I was right a bathroom.

I didn't go into the last room for to reasons

Emily called dinner was ready

The chances were that it was Emily's room so I didn't really need to go in it.

I rushed down stairs smelling the yummy food.

"Mmm smells nice" I called as approached the table.

"good"

She placed 2 plates out on the table.

We both sat down and started eating.

"So you live here by yourself?" I asked biting into a slice of pizza.

"Well Yes but Sam and his friends come every day they practically live here"

I finished chewing.

"Sam? Is that your boyfriend?"

"Yeah"

"Oh so how many friends? Don't you mind him doing that?"

"No he's real close to his friends if I want to be with him I have to accept that is friends is a very big part of his life. And besides I'm friends with them to"

"How many?" I said them ate some chips.

"Um well there's Paul. Jared, Collin, Bradley, Jacob, Quil, Embry, Leah, Seth,"

"Okay so alot"

"Yeah there like a pack"

"How old are they?"

"Pretty young and good-looking, there might be one for you!" she giggled

I smiled, Alex was the flirting type, sigh I miss her.

"They will be here tomorrow at lunch can you help me cook?" she asked.

"Sure"

We finished are dinner and and I helped her wash-up, then we watched a little TV before going to bed.

As I lay in bed, I couldn't help but smile a little, I guess it was going to be okay here after all. I mean there some apparently cute guys coming tomorrow that was a plus.

******************Next morning********************

I opened my eyes and looked at my mini clock 8AM. I got up and looked out the window it was raining no surprise there.

I got changed and put some make-up on only a little and washed and dried my hair.

I ran downstairs.

"Morning" I called.

"Morning! DO you want some waffles?" Emily asked she was already dressed.#

"Yes please and some milk also"

"Okay"

The waffles were delicious I never got those at home so it was a real treat.

I drank the last of the milk and then we got cooking. Emily showed me how do make brownies, and whilst I did those she made cookies. Once they were in the oven we made pasta and bread. By the time we'd finished the whole kitchen taste like a mixture of sweet and savoury which surprisingly smelled really good. We laid all the food out on the table, and just after we took are aprons off. * topless guys walked in and one girl (The girl wasn't topless she was wearing ahorts and a strappy top) They showed there tanned six-packs which made me drool a little.

"Hey Emily said one of them and walked over to her and gave her a hug that must of been Sam.

"Hay guys remember I told you about Lauren" she said, they all nodded.

"Hey Lauren!" they all said.

"Nice to have you here" said Sam.

"Bread that better be freshly baked!" called one of them going over to the table and sittng down also grabbing a couple of slices.

"I'm Jared by the way" he said chewing on the bed.

They all sat down and called their names and started munching.

Paul seemed abit different not obviously it was just in his eyes his look, when he introduced himself to me his gaze seemed more softer more general it was weird but I just ignored it, it was probably just me.

Leah was the last to introduce herself.

I sat down with them and started eating the food too, so did Emily.

They all seemed to have quite a personality, laughing and joking as they ate.

The bread was so nice and still warm I couldn't get enough of it and neither could Jared.

All of them seemed pretty young around 14-16 maybe? Seth and Leah were brother and sister, and Seth seemed one of the youngest, it was weird though if seth was about 14 how did he get all those muscles? And Shouldn't adolescence boys be all you know spotty?

They all were really good-looking guys but none seemed to catch my eye except Paul he wasn't like particularly hot it was more I caught his rather then he caught mine. I let him stare at me for a while but then I got bored and it got kinda weird.

After lunch mostly all the food was gone apart from 2 brownies. They all went their separate ways after that, some slept on the couch some went out, they didn't seemed fazed by the coldness.

It was a pretty nice afternoon really . Emily said that they come here pretty much all the time, apart from school days and that they come in randomly through the day too.

She sent me to bed early that night (ugh great) at 9pm because I had my first day at a new school. They all went there so at least I wasn't a total loner.

When I lay in bed I thought about Paul about how he acted different from the other guys around me not in a bad way then I thought about them in general why they never wore tops when it was freezing and why they were so muscularly so fast.

I was having a really cool dream I was running in the forest really fast, and the sun was shining on me, suddenly I was in a grocery store and Jared was with me he kept saying "buy bread buy bread!"

Then he turned to me his eyes went red and he kept saying "beeeeeeeep" the sound hurt my ears and I woke up turns out the beep was my alarm. "Ugh school" I muttered.
